If you often forget about the tasks you are supposed to complete or you remember about them after the deadline has passed, it might be a good idea to create to-do lists.

There are many utilities, such as NiftyList for Windows 8, that can be used to effortlessly come up with a neatly organized list with all your daily tasks.

Create a to-do list within seconds

The application can only be installed on computers running Windows 8 or 8.1, so you first need to upgrade your OS to any of these versions before getting to benefit from its features.

The graphic user interface is highly intuitive, so you can create a detailed to-do list even if you are a novice when it comes to operating your PC. You can also experiment with the sample entries until you discover the functions of NiftyList.

Schedule your tasks and get reminders in due time

A handy function of NiftyList is that you can manage your recurrent tasks and schedule them to your liking - you only need to mention the first target date, enter the exact time and adjust the frequency interval.

You can also set the app to display reminders prior to the planned event’s onset, so as to get enough time to prepare.

View the to-do list as a live tile on your Start Screen

Considering this is an app that runs only on Windows 8 and 8.1, you can also enjoy a dedicated function: you can preview the contents of your to-do list within the Start Screen, as a live tile, even if the app is not currently running.

All in all, NiftyList for Windows 8 can be of great use to all those who are having a hard time remembering and organizing their upcoming events.
